Does Mysql have an equivalent to @@ROWCOUNT like in mssql?

Question

How can I get row count values in MySQL as @@ROWCOUNT does in mssql?

Answer 1

Count the number of rows in a sub-query in the where clause. Then test if the total number of rows is greater than zero.

SELECT customerNumber, customerName, creditLimit FROM customers where (SELECT count(*) as tot FROM customers) > 0;
